| Stand Alone — Part 3 |
| Here is what the New Testament has to say about Enoch’s life and walk of faith. “Enoch … had this testimony, that he pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). Better than all the world has to offer, is the knowledge of pleasing God. Enoch had to bear witness against a wicked world. In a day when men lived to between eight and nine hundred years old, his life was a relatively short one. “And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). However, short his life was, his record stands, “that he pleased God.” |
| If the Christian tries to make the best of both worlds … in other words, to stand for truth and yet to cultivate the approval of the ungodly … he will find that his testimony has lost its power and the world itself does not respect him. |
| A wall poster I once saw, expressed it this way: |
| WANTED TODAY: |
| Men and women who will obey their convictions |
| of truth and duty at the cost of fortunes and friends |
| and life itself! |
| “The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (1 John 2:17). |
